Baal, s. Baal, Apollo, the Sun. Baal, Beel, Bel, or Bol, a king of the Assyrians, son of Nimrod, and father of Ninus, was the first who applied himself to the study of astronomy, and being deified by his subjects, was the first Apotheosis, and hence called Baal, Dominus and Baal Sauin, Dominus cæli. Diod. Sic. l, 3. Thus the Assyrian or Phenician Baal, and the Apollo of the Greeks appear to be the same, and to mean the Sun; for the word Grian, the Celtic for Sun, is the Grynœus Apollo: and as the different Planets were held by the Greeks and Romans, according to Cicero, to be the gods whose names they bear, so the Sun under the different appellations above-mentioned, was the God of the Assyrians, Phenicians, Samaritans, and Carthaginians, as well as of the Irish, Erse, Manks, and all the Celtic Tribes. Among the Greeks and Romans, however, Apollo was only a secondary deity; among the Celts Baal or the Sun was the great and perhaps their only God; while the Moon, the Queen of Heaven, under the name of Ashtaroth, or Astarte, was their only Goddess. Judg. x. 6. (Ir. Bal, Bel, Beel, Beal; lat. Apollo.)

Baalan, s. the plant ————(?) a fillet, a chaplet. This plant is gathered on Midsummer-eve, and made into chaplets, or circles, which are worn on the head of man and beast, to preserve them against witchcraft and evil. The word is literally Baal’s chaplet, from an the circle or ring, and Baal of Baal; in commemoration of Baal or the Sun, the god of the Celts, having completed his circle or course. When I say in commemoration of Baal, I do not mean to say that the people have any traditional memory of Baal, or consciousness of celebrating, in this and the preceding articles, any religious ceremony to him. These acts arise from immemorial usage, without any knowledge of their origin annexed to them; but the most ancient Irish historians, and many learned Celtic scholars, believe and maintain that the ceremonies alluded to are the remains of the heathen worship paid by the Druids and the Celtic nations to their god Baal. Ir. mallan, or malan; W. banal, broom.

Baalan-feail-oin, s. the chaplet made of the plant ——(?) and worn on the eve of St. John the Baptist. The literal etymology of the word is, An a chaplet, Baal of Baal, feailley on the feast Eoin of John. [Bollan-y­-feail-oin, which the inhabitants gather and keep in their houses on account of its medicinal properties.—Ed.]

Baal-sauin, s. the name of Baal; and signifies Lord of Heaven or the Sun. The first day of November was dedicated to his worship, and is called Laa-Souiney, and the Season or Month yn Tauyn; because anciently the first day of November was the first day of the year: and the Mummers on the eve of All-Saints’ Day still begin their petition with these remarkable words, “To-night is New Year’s night. Og-u-naa. The Moon shines fair and bright. Tro-la-la.” On this night, in the words of Jeremiah, “the women knead their dough to make cakes to the Queen of Heaven,” which is the Moon alluded to in the Mummer’s petition, called in Scripture, Ashtaroth: “They served Baalim and Ashtaroth.” Much ceremony is observed in making this cake, which is sacred to love, (for the Syrian Astarte is supposed to be the Greek Venus,) and is called the “soddag valloo” or dumb cake. Every woman is obliged to assist in mixing the ingredients, kneading the dough and baking the cake on glowing embers; and when sufficiently baked they divide it, eat it up, and retire to their beds backwards without speaking a word, from which silence the cake derives its name, and in the course of the night expect to see the images of the men who are destined to be their husbands. This eve is called “oie houiney.”

Baaltinn, Baaltinn laa, s. May-day, or the day of Baal’s fire, or of the Sun, from tinn celestial fire, and Baal the god Baal, or the Sun. On this day [the eve of this day.—Ed.] the inhabitants kindle fires on the summits of the highest hills, in continuation of the practice of the Druids, who made the cattle, and probably “the children, to pass through the fire,” using certain ceremonies to expiate the sins of the people; but the modern practice is, for each balla or town to kindle a fire, so that the wind may drive the smoke over their corn fields, cattle and habitations. Which custom, independent of the religious use, might have a temporal benefit also in view, by killing the insects which infest the trees and corn at that season. It is also the usage to put out the culinary fires on that day, and to rekindle them with some of the sacred fire. On this day, likewise, the young people of different districts form themselves into two parties, called the Summer and the Winter (Sourey as Geurey), and having appointed a place of meeting, a mock engagement takes place, when the winter party gradually recedes before the summer, and at last quits the field. There is an appropriate song, the burden of which is, Hug eh my fainey; sourey lhien, &c. [‘‘He gave my ring; summer with us,” &c. I can make no sense of this.—Ed.] On this day, and also on Laa Souney (the first of November), malefactors were punished with death by fire, and human sacrifices were offered to Baal; which, however, both at Carthage and in Ireland, according to the ancient historians, were laid aside, and the sacrifice of beasts substituted in their stead. Val. Gr. 124. On May-eve, the inhabitants dress their houses with flowers, and before every door a considerable space is strewed with primroses; and crosses are made of mountain-ash (caorin), which are fastened to their cattle and worn by themselves as preservatives against witchcraft. On this eve also the damsel places a snail between two pewter dishes, and expects to find next morning the name of her future husband in visible characters on the dish; but the success of this depends on her watching until midnight, and having first purified her hands and face by washing them in the dew of wheat.

Baaltinn, pronounced Boltinn, the name of a district in the Parish of Kirk Braddan. It consists of a projection of the mountain Carraghan, the sides whereof are inclosed by two rivers, which meet lit a place called the Aah-mod or Dogs’-ford. [2. Qu, now Ballamoddey? Ed.] This river is afterwards called White river, and falls into another called the Black river; below the junction of which is the town of Douglass, deriving its name front the union of the Doo (black) and the Glass (grey) rivers. In the centre of Baaltinn is a small village called Aal-caer or Baal’s town. Adjoining to Aal-caer are the ruins of an old Temple, called Kil Ammon (Cella Ammonis). [About 18 X 12 feet. On the site of these ruins the Chapel of St. Luke was built, a.D. 1836. Ed.] Near to this was an ancient Tynwald or Tinn-Vaal, i.e., the altar or fire of Baal, where all new Laws were promulged, and the seats of the 24 Keys or Parliament of the Island are still pointed out. Here was a pillar with an inscription, as I have been often told, but it was carried off and broken to mend a neighbouring stone wall. This Tinn Vaal was coeval with another on Cronc-urley, in the north side of the Island; as at that time the Island was under two Governments, and the distinctions of North-side and South-side still remain. But when Man came to be under one Government, the present Tinn Vaal, or Tennual, or Tynwald, as being more central, was erected, and the Chapel (dedicated to St. John the Baptist, on whose festival the Tinn-Vaal is annually held), was appropriated to the religious services which the meetings at Tinn-vaal might require. A fair was, however, held at the old Tinn-Vaal in Baal-tinn, until lately. There is an opinion in this part of the country that the church commonly called Kil Ammon should be named Kil Abban, or the Abbott’s Church; and that it was either built, at the introduction of Christianity into the Island, on the ruins of Baal’s temple, or that the Pagan Kil Ammon was then converted into the Christian Kil Abban. It is certain, however, that at a very early period the village of Aalcaer received the name of Balla Chreest, Christ’s town; but has not retained it in use, tho’ it is so called in the Records. The high-road to Kil Ammon is called the Raad Jiarg (red road). About a mile to the south of this Tinn Vaal is Balla-vriw, the Judge’s Town, which, as well as part of Aalcaer, is the property of the family of Kelly, [the Rev. Doctor’s family.—Ed.] who most probably were Judges or Druids of that religious and judicial institution.
The adjoining town or balla is called Baal-ny-moddey, the town of Dogs; and higher up the valley another town is called Aah Whuallian or the whelp’s ford. I mention these names, as the modern believers in the God Belus are of opinion that these dogs in their respective stations were the guards of the sacred Tinn-vaal, Baal-tinn, or fire of Baal. On St. Stephen’s day the inhabitants of this district assemble to hunt the little Wren, which, when caught and killed, they fasten to the top of a long pole and carry about in procession, with drums beating, and colours flying, and distribute for money the feathers of the bird, which are esteemed by the purchasers to be a charm against all evils for the ensuing year. So far is common with the practice of other parts of the Island; but in Baal-tinn the body of the naked Wren is deposited with much solemnity in Kil Ammon, and the evening concludes with a variety of games on the open ground which adjoins. While some think this to be an emblem of the change from human sacrifices to those of beasts in the offerings of Baal, others think, with apparently more reason, that it is a superstitious memorial of the death of the saint. It may be right in this place to explain the reason why Baal-tinn and Tinn Vaal are supposed to be the same word, and to mean the same thing. Bealtuinne is of Irish origin, and Tinn-vaal of Manks, as being peculiar to the Isle of Man; for whenever or generally when two substantives are put in apposition, the Irish place that word first, which the Manks put last, as Irish ailtcheangal is in Manks kiangley-olt, buidhemhios is mee­vuigh, July, lhong-phort, a harbour, purt-lhong or lhuingys. Ir. saix-vheurla, baarl-sausinagh. M’Cuirtin also, author of the Irish Dictionary explains Bealtuinne by Teinne Bheil, and by Teinne Bheluis. But should Tinn veal and Baal tinn be the same, and both signify Baal’s altar and fire, and the court where new laws were promulged, there will be a difficulty in accounting for the Icelandic, “Althing, or common court of justice, which is kept every year on the 8th of July, at Thing-Valla.” * For though the Icelandic names and their uses resemble those of the Celtic; yet we cannot think them of Celtic origin. Here, then, is a field of curious inquiry for the learned antiquarian. (Ir. Bealtuinne; lat. Appollinis ignis, for teinn or teinney fire, is eign or eigney without the t, which is added because of the word beginning with a vowel; therefore ignis is of the same Celtic origin.)

Baillym, I wish, I desire, oh that I might or could; bailt, thou; baillish, he; pl. baillhien, bailliu, baillad.
